The kinetic energy of an object is the energy associated with the object which is under motion. It is defined as "the energy required by a body to accelerate from rest to stated velocity." It is a vector quantity and the momentum of an object is the virtue of its mass. It is defined as the product of mass and velocity. It is a vector quantity. The relation between them is given by $E =\frac{P^2}{2 m}$. In case of the elastic collision both of these quantities remain constant.
